1)Flip over a mixing bowl and cover it in plastic wrap.. 2)Squirt some white glue into a bowl and start wrapping your twine around your plastic-covered bowl base, slapping more glue on with your fingers as you go.. 3)Wait for it to dry for 24 hrs.. or... 3)b)Stick it in the oven  at about 200 for a little while, then turn the oven off and leave it sit until it’s dry.

Even with a giant chalkboard like this, it’s only a 5 minute job..Closet doors: fully-seasoned and ready to go!

Chris was a little confused as to why I would paint our closet doors black, but he’s just not cool like you and I, so he doesn’t get how neat it is..So what did I decide to draw on them, this first time around?.Why, closet doors of course!

I used an old yardstick that I found in a closet upstairs to draw a bunch of “planks” and try to make them look sort of like those fun barn-style doors I’ve been seeing around lately.And when I get bored, I’ll just draw a different style of door!

Or something else entirely!.

For the hinges, I just made a template out of cardstock and traced it roughly where I thought hinges should go.Adding crown molding is always a really fun thing to do in any space and it always really makes a big impact.

It’s easy to see pictures of really fancy versions and think you need to spend a lot, but think twice about that if you have walls that change direction a lot in your room like we do..Even the most basic crown molding that you can find at your hardware store starts to look pretty impressive when you’re making a lot of cuts and changing angles all the time.. Once again though, I will state that having someone really talented work on this project in the first place does help a lot, whether it’s you, your husband, or a friend.

These moldings might be basic, but the work is still pretty impressive here!.Seriously, don’t you think Chris should teach a class or something?
